Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think the manifest functions, latent functions, and dysfunctions are of schools are the following.

The manifest functions in schools are offering the best quality education possible to students, provide the necessary tools to succeed in their profession, and instill of the necessity to maintain high morals and values in school and the future workplace.

The latent functions would be to develop social skills that allow students to interact with a diverse group of individuals who have different perspectives, cultures, and backgrounds because that is what students will find in the workplace.

Among the dysfunctions is the way schools deal with inequity and class divisions that still affect the campuses in America.
